So I know I have been taking about this giveaway for a while but I had to get the word out there and build up the suspense before I actually posted the entry rules! So if you've been reading you'll know that this giveaway is really great and will be a perfect basket to get you through the fall season!

What's the purpose behind the giveaway? Well it's 2-fold. First I'm celebrating my blog turning 1 year old! It's so crazy to think that I have been blogging for over a year and as I think back about when I first started blogging to now, it seems like the time flew and things changed so quickly and some of you have been with me right from the beginning and I thank you so much for your support, comments and for staying with me through all the drama, all the changes here on my blog and through everything else! When I first started blogging, I never thought that I'd be doing exclusive interviews, going to fashion shows, getting press passes Getting invited to join blogger meet-up groups in my area and so many other things that my blog has brought into my life. As corny as this may sound, my blog has in some strange way, changed my life! I'm bolder, stronger and not afraid to whip out my camera and start taking photos, or to start asking complete strangers questions! So this giveaway is to celebrate a year of change and learning who I am and what I want to be!

The second reason for my blog giveaway is that I want to thank all my readers for sticking through this with me and to hopefully sticking through it with me for another year, and hopefully to stay around many more to come! So this giveaway is in a way a big shout-out to all of you out there, a BIG THANK YOU for being here with me! I love your comments and suggestions and your kind words! Keep 'em coming!

So here's what you have all been waiting for: The entry rules and details. My blog turns 1 on October 7th so I will run this giveaway up until a week after that and make the final "drawing" for the winner exactly 1 week after my blog's birthday (Oct. 14th the winner will be announced).

*Become a Facebook friend, again you can find this on the right hand toolbar or up top

*Leave me a comment here telling me one or two things about Fall that you love the most? In your make sure to let me know that you've followed me and become my Facebook friend.
